Question

A certain company employed 400 men and 600 women and the average wage was rs. 22.60 per day. If a woman got rs. 4 less than a man, then what are their daily wages?

Answer 1

Answer:

rs 25 - Men

Rs 21 - woman

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say man daily wages = m rs

woman daily wages = m-4   rs

Total daily wages = 400*m + 600(m-4) = 1000m - 2400   Rs

Averages daily wages = (1000m -2400)/(400+600)

= m - 2.4

m - 2.4 = 22.6

m = 25  Rs

Man get rs 25 daily wages

woman get Rs (25-4) = rs 21 Daily wages

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the wage of men be "y" and women be"x".

Then (600x+400y)/1000 = 22.60

600x+400y = 22600

600(y-4) +400y = 22600 ; x=y-4

y=25 & x=21.
